Default Motor is boggy and loses power what could it be. I have DETAILS LOOK

I finally took care of all my problems I thought. I got my motor running but for some reason when I drove it didn't really start moving until i got past 3000 rpm I have to rev it to 3000rpm just to have enough power to roll the car.

Here are the details I have external Tial waste gate hoses unplugged and Blow off valve hose unplugged Greddy BC unplugged. A type R Manifold with JDM P30 TPS. Changed my plugs 3 times all do the same thing. The car runs Hondata S200 It ran fine before with greddy set up. Fuel Pressure is 48psi. New Cap, Rotor and wires.

If you need more details let me know

The tuning sounds like its off for this setup. Try dropping the fuel pressure down till the car can leave at regular rpm. Go down as far as you have to but dont boost like crazy. If this helps clear it up then its running rich on the low end. Make sure you plug all the hoses back in....if it decides to leave on you,you dont want to overboost. Try this and get back at me.

I dropped the fuel pressure and adjusted the ignition timing and it runs alot better.

I think I have to adjust also from the timing side because I can't get it to the red mark. Right now its running good at TDC though. I was slightly off on the cam gears not even a tooth. Would that make a big difference

The red mark is actually 15 degrees with a non advance type timing gun. I assume you tuner adjusted base timing a degree ot two because your boosting. Id take a guess and estimate your timing 13-14 degrees. If you have an advance type gun.....id check it to make sure your not off a tooth.......and if its ok leave it till you can retune.

That makes sense. I'm gonna take the belt off and set it to red. Because my tuner is in NY and right now I'm in MA. Tell me what you think.

Nice website I like your style kid I'm actually working on a site myself I email you the link when I'm done. Peace!!

Nooooooooooooo leave the belt on the white mark. When checking with a non advancement type gun your timing mark will be on the red indicating 15 degrees. If you take the belt off and set tdc on the red mark youll be all f'ed up. Just make sure the gears are lined up - - and the tdc mark is on the crank and youll be good. Like I said....your tuner may have adjusted the dist. plus or minus so timing marks with a non advance type gun will be off.

I left it alone I just have to be patient I guess. I used a snap on gun also and it read the same as my cheap actron gun from auto zone. I just hate depending on other people to fix my problems. Thats why I have done my entire build from the ground up.

I had to set my way dist. back in order for me to get some decent pull out of the car.
